## About Custom Portrait Art

Capturing people’s real moments and feelings in art is what keeps me going. Every portrait I make is personal, whether you want to remember a special day, surprise someone you care about, or just have a piece of your own story on your wall.

### Styles I Offer

- Realistic graphite sketch for that classic, black-and-white look - every detail and emotion, just how you remember it.
- Charcoal portrait artist touch, using hand-crushed charcoal powder for deep contrasts and that soft, blended finish. It feels powerful, raw.
- Acrylic canvas painting if you’re after big, bold colours and want your art to really stand out.

### What Makes It Yours

- Your ideas and stories come first - movie characters, cultural icons, or something totally unique? I’m all ears.
- Share a clear photo and what vibe you’re after. I’ll work with you till it feels right.
- Kannada culture is close to my heart - namma Kannada, namma hemme (our Kannada, our pride) - so I love adding those touches if you want.

### Little Extras

- Framing is sorted if you want your portrait ready to hang or gift.
- I put my heart into every piece, but if you want something wild or offbeat, tell me - I’m always up for it.

Art isn’t just about looking good, it’s about feeling something. That’s what I promise.

### My story

Hey, I’m Chandan from Karwar. My art? It’s all heart and a bit of hometown spice. You’ll spot Daivaradhane vibes, Yakshagana, Hanuman, Bappa – all that Karnataka magic. Made that famous 'Kantara' rangoli too, felt like a real dantakathe (legend). But yeah, I’m also the guy chilling by waterfalls, road-tripping with friends, or tearing up at a movie like '777 Charlie'. My art’s a mix – Namma Kannada Namma Hemme (Our Kannada, Our Pride), but also just enjoying the ride.

### My work

- **Custom Art Services**: I do graphite pencil sketches, rangoli art, charcoal and whitestone powder art, and mural paintings for any space.
- **Large-Scale & Event Art**: Want something BIG? I make huge rangoli for festivals, live speed-painting at events, and art that stands out.
- **Wall & Cafe Murals**: I paint murals for cafes, offices, and public spots. Each wall gets its own story, like Yakshagana mural painting.
- **Custom Portraits & Sketches**: Realistic graphite pencil portrait commissions or charcoal powder sketches – perfect for gifts or memories.
- **Culture Meets Modern**: Love mixing tradition with now – from Shivaji Maharaj to custom movie tribute murals, I’ll paint your idea.
